Abstract

Given that one of the objectives of education is to de-barbarize individuals, this article reports a research that investigated whether there was a variation in the type of mistreatment among different levels of education in Argentina, whether the roles of students in these mistreatment were maintained or not and the relationship between the roles performed. A questionnaire was applied to 70 university students, who pointed out memories of primary and secondary school of their practice, support, observation and / or suffering of 10 types of aggression. There were no major changes in the types of aggression from the primary to the secondary level and a tendency to maintain the roles in the aggression. There was a relation between being a practitioner and/or supporter of violence in the two levels verified and between being the target of the aggression and observer at the primary school. Thus, given the frequency of mistreatment and the conservation of violence in both school levels examined, the objective of de-barbarization of individuals is not being entirely fulfilled by education.
